Essesseeneshun Puleetics Pert 6

A freqooent ineetiel beleeeff emung peuple-a vhu hefe-a recently heerd ooff my
"essesseeneshun puleetics" idea is zee feer thet thees system veell sumehoo
be-a "oooot ooff cuntrul":  It vuoold ind up cooseeng zee deet ooff oordeenery,
"undeserfeeng" peuple-a.
Bork Bork Bork!

Thees system, hooefer, veell nut be-a veethuoot its oovn keend ooff "cuntrul."
Nut a centreleezed cuntrul, deceedeeble-a by a seengle-a indeefidooel, boot a
decentreleezed system in vheech iferyune-a gets un impleecit "fute-a."   A guud

hooefer.  Cleerly, nu oone-a indeefidooel is in cuntrul ooff zee setteeng.
Bork Bork Bork!
Neferzeeless, I theenk it vuoold be-a generelly egreed thet thees system
vuoold nefer prudooce-a a REELLY "ooffff zee vell" temperetoore-a setteeng, seemply
becoose-a su muny peuple's inpoots ere-a used tu determeene-a zee ooootpoot.  Soore-a,
iff a gruoop ooff 10,000 keeds deceeded (esseested by zee Internet) tugezeer

veethin zee cuntrul ooff zee pupooleshun es a vhule-a.
Bork Bork Bork!

It toorns oooot thet "essesseeneshun puleetics" ectooelly hes a rezeer seemiler
cuntrul mechuneesm vheech, leeke-a zee oone-a I'fe-a descreebed ebufe-a.  Furst, I'fe-a

I'd oonly eccept duneshuns nemeeng peuple-a vhu ere-a in feeuleshun ooff zee

Bork Bork Bork!
By thees stunderd, gufernment impluyees (vhu hefe-a eccepted peychecks peeed

creemes ectooelly hed a feectim vuoold be-a inclooded.  Let's cell thees

Bork Bork Bork!
Thees mexeemizes zee beneffeet tu heem, und meenimizes zee putenteeel herm.
Bork Bork Bork!

Seence-a BOTH oorguneezeshuns veell eccept duneshuns fur "deserfeeng" feectims,
vheele-a oonly OorgB veell eccept zeem fur "joost unybudy," it is reesuneble-a tu

Bork Bork Bork!
In eddeeshun, OorgA  veell becume-a lerger, mure-a credeeble-a, beleeefeeble-a und

Effter ell, iff a putenteeel dunur vunts tu "heet" sume-a gufernment beegvig,

Fur a vheele-a, I thuooght thet zee "leck ooff a muteefe-a" prutecshun ves

Und iff zee terget hes nu reesun tu meke-a zee peyment, zee ixturshuneest
